Just received this email from NASA regarding something I must have signed up for at some point and I have to share it. No idea what the service was, because... well because this. To be honest it could say aliens had invaded and I wouldn't be any the wiser.

Users of Reverb and LP DAAC DAR Tool,
The ESDIS Project at NASA is preparing to migrate the user accounts of the ECHO (Earth Observing System Clearinghouse) Reverb client and the ASTER DAR Tool to the new Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) EOSDIS User Registration System (URS). The URS is designed to improve use of the EOSDIS system by enhancing functionality and simplifying of user registration and profile management. With the new URS, a web interface will be offered that allows you to update (reset password, retrieve/change account information) your account profile. You may also continue to use existing tools (e.g. Reverb) to modify your account information, as changes will be persisted in the EOSDIS URS.
The EOSDIS URS enforces account uniqueness based on email address and user name. If you have multiple ECHO user accounts, or an existing EOSDIS URS account, with a conflicting email address or user name, you will receive an emailed notification with further detailed instructions. In order to ensure we have correct user information, all Reverb users will be asked to verify their account information during their first account login after the transition.
Other systems migrating to the EOSDIS URS in the near future include the Land Atmosphere Near Real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE) and the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Doc Builder Tool. Our plan is to enable all of our systems to use the same user registration system.
The URS transition is currently scheduled for Wednesday 4/25/2012. Please contact echo@echo.nasa.gov if you have any specific questions regarding your account. For more information please visit the following website: http://earthdata.nasa.gov/urs.
Thank You
